@61 crusher I fish Avoca often because my misses has a holiday house up there but try and not go there as often because of the crowds and pilchard tossers gets hard to use lures there sometimes
-
@61 crusher nice work! What platform where you fishin ?
-
And as someone mentioned before the storm so runs are good to, but a bibed lure can be abit of hard work casting all the time. The little xrap I mentioned before the bib is so small on them so it works good keeping them just under the surface
-
I use jerkshads ill pm you some photos tomorrow and I like the 7inch ones bigger is better, couple of weeks ago I was off the rocks and the Zman jershads were killing it in the bonito but this time of the year there not fussy anyway. A few king’s were taken on them to. But the xrap 14cm stickbaits are good to I’m pretty sure there 56grams
-
And big tailor ass well on the little xrap
-
Soft plastics off the rocks I always use zmans they have great action and I tend to go for whit or pink colours, and I match either a 1/2 ounce or 3/4 ounce depending on water conditions, a good little hardbody that will fit in your lure weight is the xrap magnum long cast 10 with the bib I like blue in colour they weigh 42grams I’ve caught rat kings and bonito off this lure
-
What size pencil poppers do you boys use ? @rickmarlin62 @Green Hornet
-
Curious to see what peoples go to lures are out of stick baits and poppers for off the rocks ?
-
Yeah that’s exactly what I’m doin I have a veritas it’s a 6-10kg stock and rated 28-67grams matched with a penn slammer 3500 which is AWESOME for the lighter stuff will even handle decent kings off the rocks, I’m just wanting that heavey out fit now for those bigger lures! You should have a look at the abu Garcia veritas if you were ever looking for the lighter out fit ! @Hill373737
-
@Hill373737 because I have a veritas already for the 60gram metals so looking for something that will punch out those 100gram
-
@Hill373737 how do you think it will go throwing out 85metals and bigger stickbaits about 100gram ? I no it’s abit long for stick baits but I’m happy to do the hard worl
-
What’s people’s thoughts on the penn prevail I think there around 10ft and 50-150g casting weight,. What do people think of them as a spinning rod ??
-
@xerotao I no the feeling it would feel abit off having a penn reel and a Diawa rod ahah
-
@xerotao I have a small slammer on my lighter outfit I used for off the rocks and there a awesome reel bro and smooth is a understatement for these things! You should sus them out and there not expensive only around $350
-
I was thinking of pairing the rod I’m talking about with one of those penn spammers has a good gear ratio for high speed spinning and has a good drag on them pretty sure the bigger models in them have almost 30kg of drag! @xerotao and how much did your rod set you back ?
-
Has anyone on here got the Daiwa saltist hyper 9ft6 ? If so what do you think of it looking at one for spinning off the rocks with heavey metals and big stick baits! Or does anyone else know of any cracker rods wanting something that can cast 60-150gram lures
-
Do people have there most luck spinning early morning for tailor or sunset ? Mines always been early morning. Want to no others experience
-
This is a question I’ve always thought. Has anyone ever caught a jewie while spinning metals off the beach or off the rocks ?
-
Thanks for the heads up @rickmarlin62
-
Hey guys thinking of heading up to the coast tomorrow of the rocks for a spin with some metals and divers, was wondering if use could tell me what’s been happening in the last couple of weeks? If it’s been quite I might give it a miss and wait till it warms up abit more
-
hey guys I’ve never fished in the harbour before land based and I always see people getting loads of kings in the harbour land based but don’t no where to really go and where your aloud to fish? Can someone point me in to a good diresction and I’ll be using lures aswell such as stick baits and I have a chasebait squid which will work really well
-
@wazatherfisherman thanks for the info bro
-
I’m changing over from a spinning reel to a over head for live baiting off the rocks what can you guys recommend ? Reel and rod ? I don’t want a short 6ft if I can get a 8ft plus suited for a over head
-
Hit a beach for a spin this morning at the central coast not a single hit in a few hours! Wasn’t worth the 3:30am wake up
-
going up to the coast this weekend (central coast) might hit budgewoi beach for a spin and might hit Avoca or a rock platform with some xrap stick baits. Much been happening up there ? If I go the beach might through some big fresh squids out for some jewies
